jamboinglasgow Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Something curious I noticed today is that the official site has updated the reserve squad. It now has squad as Goalkeepers - Harris Spratt, Harry Stone Defenders - Michael Aitken, Sean Docherty, Leon Watson, Aaron Darge, Chris Hamilton (on loan), Cammy Logan Midfielders - Callum Flatman, Harry Gordon, Aidan Denholm, Sean Ward (on loan), Scott McGill, Connor Smith Forwards - Mackenzie Kirk, Ryan Schiavone, Jay Charleston-King, Leeroy Makovora (on loan) The (on loan) is what it is stated on the website, I know there are other players who are currently on loan without the on loan next to their name. It appears all this season reserves and U18s combined in that squad list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a way to make up for this kind of lost season for a lot of youngsters? Hope this is the way we go - much smaller first team squad augmented by youngsters.

When young boys come to Hearts they are encouraged to learn life skills that help mould them into decent independent human beings but that apart it may guide them towards another career if they are unfortunate enough to get an injury that curtails their football progress.

It's the same age group that won the International tournament that Hearts hosted at the Oriam a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
